Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

FranceThe apartment was spotless, and had absolutely everything needed for a stay, with extra little gifts in the fridge as a welcome present for my arrival! Very close to the centre of Taormina with just a few minutes stroll to the central street. The owner of the apartment was so welcoming, and could not have been more kind, friendly and professional. Giving his time and effort in explaining everything, giving tips on places to visit, where to eat etc in Taormina. Simply Exceptional! Highly recommended

We cannot say enough good things about Hugo and his properties. We LOVED Taormina and have Hugo to thank. You will be staying in optimal location and have access to a wonderful, knowledgeable person. Hugo went out of his way and picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at the train station (huge help as my husband is using crutches for a broken ankle). Do not look anywhere else and book immediately, if available. We will definitely be back!

An amazing reception by the host,Ugo, upon arrival at the Taormina Bus Terminal. Drove us to the apartment. Orientated us not only the accomodation, but the neighbourhood supermarket, eateries and places of interest. Unusual generosity by the provisions of home grown oranges and lemons, a bottle of red wine, local Sicilian Limoncello, 3 bottles of still-water and a kitchen stock up with condiments,sauce and oil. An apartment of superb cleanliness, very good lightings and firm quality beddings. Unexpected sent off to Train station with love snd momentos. Amazing and memorable stay.

United KingdomLoved everything! Absolutely no complaints!
Absolutely everything was perfect! Apartment was very clean and very well equipped. Has everything you need for a holiday and a home from home. The absolute best thing though was the host Ugo and his wife Justyna. Ugo picked us up from the station and took time to walk us round the centre of Taormina providing us with lots of helpful information! Justyna and Ugo kindly bought us cakes from an amazing cake shop to try!

CanadaThe biggest bonus of this apartment are the owners - kind, helpful and focused on their clients having a great time. The location is perfect - quiet at night but so close to all the "action". Staying at this location, one immediately feels like you're at home - and the presence of a complimentary bottle of wine along with some fruit was a very generous (but appreciated) gesture. I have never had a rental property actually ADD to the level I liked a location, but this was the case. I would happily return to Taormina, and most assuredly seek to stay at Justyna and Ugo's rental property.

United KingdomOur host Ugo made our holiday very special because of his passion for Taormina and his desire for you to have an amazing time on your hoilday. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He even collected us from the train station on our arrival and gave a superb tour of the town, giving lots of advice on local attractions and great places to eat and drink. The apartment was spotlessly clean and fully equipped for all your needs. We found the location to be perfect, very central. We would highly recommend staying here.

It’s only five minutes walk from the Main Street. Spotless clean. Very quiet during night time so you sleep very well. Apartment has everything you need such as coffee machine, fridge, stove, washer and a cute balcony where you can enjoy some morning sun and a cup of coffee. The best about this place is the hosts Ugo and Justyna. Super helpful and hospitable people. Very accommodating and generous. Pick us up from train station then drive us around to explain the layout of Taormina. Makes our stay super easy and fun. Best hosts we’ve ever met. We definitely will book this place again if we come back to Taormina. Actually already referred to our friends and families.

United KingdomWe had an incredible time in Taormina, and a large part of that was our experience with Ugo. He is quite literally the most kind and helpful host! Not only did he collect us from the train station, but he spent around half an hour walking around the town with us to help us get our bearings. He also sent us a detailed list of all of the best sights and restaurants in the area, which we largely followed and thoroughly enjoyed. The apartment itself was fantastic. In an ideal location close to the main centre, but peaceful. It was the perfect size for a couple, and had all of the facilities you would need. The coffee maker was especially good. We loved starting our days with an espresso on the balcony! We would love to return to Sicily in the future and stay in one of Ugo’s lovely properties again.

Everything was more than perfect! The owner, Ugo, was absolutely caring and conscientious, he came and waited us at the bus station, took us around in the city and showed all of the good places. He even took us up to Castelmola and brought us back to the city. The apartment was very comfortable even for four people. It's well equipped, super clean and huge. The location is perfect, very calm place but close to the city center. There was nothing more we could expect.

SpainThe appartment is beautiful, comfortable, well equipped, and has a good location (close to the main street but in a quiet street), but the highest pro is the host: he truly cares about his guests and is really helpful. It wasn't the cheapest option in town but we saved quite some money in dining and parking thanks to his recommendations. We would definitely stay there again.

United KingdomWe loved it all!
Absolutely everything about our stay here was first class. We were contacted in advance and arranged a place to meet the host where we could park our car (free) and were then driven into Taormina by the host (very narrow streets with no nearby parking). This was super helpful. After helping us with our luggage and then showing us around everything about the apartment we were then treated to a short personal tour of the town centre with many local places of interest and places to eat pointed out (we tried many and they were all very good). We were also sent several very helpful messages about other places to visit nearby which were all really useful. Throughout our stay our hosts could not have been more helpful, and when it came to checking out they once again helped us with luggage and drove us back to our car and then showed us the best way to get to our next destination. If I could give more than 10 out of 10 I would - a simply perfect place with really amazing hosts!

United StatesUgo and Justyna are terrific hosts. This is an understatement. They gave us a tour of town AFTER he picked us at the station. We received multiple WhatsApps that shared recommendations on restaurants, sites, etc. During our stay. All were SPOT ON! They far exceeded expectations in all aspects with their generosity and caring. Their first floor apartment, on a quiet and easily accessible side street, is a three minute walk to the Corso Umberto, the Main Street of Taormina. They have fully-kitted out the flat: great bedding, pillows, towels, good hot shower with great water pressure. There’s AC/heat, a washing machine and a well-outfitted kitchen with a great coffee maker we used multiple times. The front balcony is a lovely spot to have a coffee or a glass of wine. Every need is anticipated. Forgot soap? Ugo and Justyna have some. Feel like a glass of wine? Ugo can help. We feel like we met knew friends and we miss them already.

AustraliaUgo made my stay in Taormina truly exceptional, I can now see why there were so many 10-star reviews for this property! The property was very clean, had everything I needed, and was within 10 minutes' walking distance of all the main sights in Taormina. Ugo was the best host and was so kind to pick me up from the station when my train was quite delayed, gave me the best local walking tour to help me get my bearings on foot when I arrived, and had an endless list of amazing recommendations for food and things to do even in the off-season (especially trying the Fior di Sale lemonade, and all the best lookout spots). I felt so safe as a solo traveller staying at Ugo's property and can't wait to return one day :)

PolandWe had a fantastic stay at this apartment! It had everything we needed, was very comfortable, and was in a great central location—yet still wonderfully quiet. As a family with two small kids, we truly appreciated the convenience and peaceful atmosphere. What made our stay exceptional was the host, Hugo, who went above and beyond in ways we’ve never experienced before. He made us feel like friends rather than just guests and did everything possible to help. Thank you, Hugo! We highly recommend this place for a family stay.
